Introduction: Renal carcinoma, and in particular its most common variant, the clear cell subtype, is often diagnosed incidentally through abdominal imaging and frequently, the tumor is discovered at an early stage. However, 20% to 40% of patients undergoing nephrectomy for clinically localized renal cancer, even after accurate histological and clinical classification, will develop metastasis or recurrence, justifying the associated mortality rate. Therefore, even if renal carcinoma is not among the most frequent nor deadly cancers, a better prognostication is needed. Areas covered: Recently proteomics or other omics combinations have been applied to both cancer tissues, on the neoplasia itself and surrounding microenvironment, cultured cells, and biological fluids (so-called liquid biopsy) generating a list of prognostic molecular tools that will be reviewed in the present paper. Expert opinion: Although promising, none of the approaches listed above has been yet translated in clinics. This is likely due to the peculiar genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of this cancer, which makes nearly each tumor different from all the others. Attempts to overcome this issue will be also revised. In particular, we will discuss how the application of omics-integrated approaches could provide the determinants of response to the different targeted drugs.

Abstract

Introduction: Renal carcinoma, and in particular its most common variant, the clear cell subtype, is often diagnosed incidentally through abdominal imaging and frequently, the tumor is discovered at an early stage. However, 20% to 40% of patients undergoing nephrectomy for clinically localized renal cancer, even after accurate histological and clinical classification, will develop metastasis or recurrence, justifying the associated mortality rate. Therefore, even if renal carcinoma is not among the most frequent nor deadly cancers, a better prognostication is needed. Areas covered: Recently proteomics or other omics combinations have been applied to both cancer tissues, on the neoplasia itself and surrounding microenvironment, cultured cells, and biological fluids (so-called liquid biopsy) generating a list of prognostic molecular tools that will be reviewed in the present paper. Expert opinion: Although promising, none of the approaches listed above has been yet translated in clinics. This is likely due to the peculiar genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of this cancer, which makes nearly each tumor different from all the others. Attempts to overcome this issue will be also revised. In particular, we will discuss how the application of omics-integrated approaches could provide the determinants of response to the different targeted drugs.
